P.V. Test Results Pass/Fail Rules

The Technician or Application Admin user can execute a Performance Verification (P.V.)

Results of the P.V. test are important!

👍 PASS - If the P.V. test passes, the user can proceed immediately to any area of the software after completion.

👎 FAIL - If the P.V. test fails, the Evolution reader is not allowed to be used to make measurements until two (2) successive P.V. tests are passed to confirm the reader is operating within specifications. After a failed P.V. test, the software requires a different user to login and perform a P.V. test with passing results. Next, software requires the original user to login and perform a second P.V. test with passing results. If both users get passing P.V. test results, the software then allows access to all areas of DoseControl and allows the Evolution reader to be used to measure dosimeters.

Pass/Fail Rules

RULE 1: All photometric and wavelength accuracy tests must PASS for the P.V. test to PASS.

All P.V. tests pass - result is PASS

P.V. Record result is PASS

RULE 2: When the P.V. test status is PASS, the user can proceed immediately to any area of the software after completion. DoseControl will allow dosimeter measurements using the attached active reader.

RULE 3: If one or more photometric and wavelength accuracy tests FAIL, the P.V. Test is a FAIL.

One of the P.V. tests is failed, so the P.V. result is FAIL

P.V. Record result is FAIL

RULE 4: When the P.V. test FAILS, DoseControl will not allow dosimeter measurements using the attached active reader. (The user will be prompted to perform a PV Test again.)

User is prompted to perform a P.V. test

RULE 5: When the current P.V. status is FAIL, two (2) different users must PASS two (2) consecutive P.V. Tests on the active, attached reader to achieve a PASS status. The attached reader must have a PASS status before DoseControl will allow the attached reader to be used for dosimeter measurements.

Example (see figure below):

  1. Tech user fails PV test.

  2. User 2 fails PV test.

  3. Adminstrator2 passes PV test.

  4. Tech user passes PV test.

  5. DoseControl will allow dosimeter measurements for the attached reader
